Elizabeth II Pair of Certified gold & silver Proof 15 Dollars 1992 NGC,
1) gold $15 - PR67 Ultra Cameo, cf. KM215 (for original type in silver)
2) silver $15 - PR69 Ultra Cameo, KM215
Royal Canadian mint. 1992 Olympics series: Spirit of the Generations. By Stewart Sherwood. The gold piece in this pair is an interesting and highly unusual off-metal striking, in which the dies for the original silver issue were used in tandem with a planchet for a contemporary 1 oz gold Maple Leaf. The diameter of the gold planchet (30mm) expanded during the striking process to the size of the dies (40mm), thus accounting for the slightly odd nature to the rims of this piece, as there was not quite enough metal to fill the entire area demanded by the dies. Full Gem quality, both with delightfully frosted devices and exceptionally mirrored surfaces. A wonderful modern numismatic enigma of undeniable beauty, and certain to appeal to the highest-tier collector of Canadian errors.
